Performing Arts Magnet Recruiter Strategist
Mrs. Mailyn Bashay, I am proud to be a DSA Dragon! I am originally from Southern California but grew up in Las Vegas, where I consider myself a true local. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education-English from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (Go Rebels!) and hold two Master’s Degrees: one in Differentiated Instruction and another in Educational Leadership. This is my 12th year at Del Sol Academy of the Performing Arts, where I serve as the Magnet Recruiter & Strategist. In my role, I help teachers explore and implement the most innovative strategies and techniques to ensure student success. I also travel across the Las Vegas Valley proudly showcasing our incredible programs and sharing with 8th grade students the exciting opportunities that await them at Del Sol. My goal is to help students reach their fullest potential by fostering a safe, creative, and collaborative learning environment that builds strong character and leadership skills. Outside of school, I enjoy expanding my skills as a home chef, catching new movie releases, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
